Does KVM require LVM to be in use?
(I ask because this seemed to be the case
in the examples I looked at._

No, it's not required. Though I always use LVM when installing Fedora :-)
Have install different distributions without LVM.

No, but that's the shortest IO path for virtual disks.  If you're 
concerned about disk performance, you might find that's the best 
configuration.  I've seen some benchmarks that suggest that disk 
performance for file backed VMs is getting much better, recently.
